Getty Images plans to go private through a prepackaged bankruptcy restructuring backed by up to $433 million in new equity from Getty family members and Koch Equity Development. The deal also includes converting approximately $100 million of debt to equity, paying off $270 million in senior unsecured notes, extending secured debt maturities, and reducing interest obligations. The restructuring aims to alleviate the company's heavy debt burden amid competitive pressure from AI-generated imagery. This financial reset follows the collapse of Getty Images' proposed merger with Shutterstock in July.
